Domestic abuse situation

Hi everyone. I’ve posted about the same thing before but it is still ongoing unfortunately. I have my own place and at the moment I’m living with my mum 40 miles away from my home as she is struggling with her mental health. When I mean with delusions etc which is like a psychosis or schizophrenia... you get the idea. So I was removed from her property over a year ago due to her being violent towards me and keeping me in the house, I was 21 at the time now I am 22. I genuinely feel like a child because although I thought she was getting better the past few days she has been considerably worse such as hiding my phone and my purse so I can’t go anywhere. I will be going home soon and she’s talking about coming with me but I really don’t want her to. The trouble is she is very demanding and stubborn so will not budge and will insist on coming with me to “keep me safe” so I don’t know if I should call the police before I leave. She spends my money, takes me phones, breaks my things and yesterday she pushed me hard when I tried to get my phone from her as she thinks I’m plotting against her. Please help. My anxiety is through the roof and I really don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t really bare to talk to her at the moment. She disgusts me :(

Can you get hold of your phone to call 101 or women’s aid. This is not a good situation and you need support to get away from your Mum. National Domestic abuse helpline 0808 2000 247. Good luck

If this was a friend telling you of this situation with a partner, what would you advise she does?
Just because she is your mum and had mental health issues does not mean she has a right to abuse you.
Does your have a car? If you were to get your stuff and go while she is in the toilet/shower etc, would she be able to follow you?

Are you her carer, if not is there someone who could take over watching her so you can go back home, does she have a social worker.
